The compounds of formula I may be converted by methods well-known in the art into the corresponding salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, both inorganic, for instance, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc., and organic, for instance, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, maleic acid, etc.
As it has been mentioned hereinabove, the compounds according to the present invention exhibit a very high local anaesthetic activity and also anti-arrhythmic activity. The toxicological and pharmacological properties of the compounds of formula I will be manifest on the basis of the following work. The data reported hereinbelow relate in every instance to the hydrochloride salts of the individual compounds.
ACUTE TOXICITY
Acute toxicity has been determined in Swiss rats by the intraperitoneal injection of the compounds dissolved in physiological saline solution. The behavior of the animals has then been followed for a period of five days. The DL50 has been determined according to the method of I. T. Litchfield and F. Wilcoxon, (J. Pharmacol. Exper. Ther., 96, 99, 1949). The results are reported in Table II, second column. The compound numbers in Table II correspond to the numbers in Table I.

As it is clear from the data in the Table above, a substantial number of the compounds of formula I is substantially less toxic than lidocaine, (α-diethylamino-2,6-dimethyl-acetanilide).
LOCAL ANAESTHESTIC ACTIVITY
The surface anaesthesia has been determined in rabbits according to the method of M. R. A. Change and H. Lobstein (J. Pharmacol. Exper. Ther., 82, 203, 1944). The compounds dissolved in physiological saline solution of pH 7 were injected into the conjunctival sac and the corneal reflux was induced with the brush of Frey six times at intervals of five minutes for a total period of 40 minutes. The extent of surface anaesthesia has been measured quantitatively by measuring the sum of the instances during which the animals did not blink during a period of 40 minutes on 48 possible blinks.
The anaesthesia by infiltration has been determined in guinea pigs according to the method of E. Bulbring and I. Wajda, (Journal of Pharmacol. Exper. Ther. 85, 78, 1945). In each experiment, four doses of the substance in 0.25 cc of physiological saline solution is injected subcutaneously on the back after removal of hair. After five minutes, each animal is punctured six times at intervals of 3-5 minutes.
The test was repeated every five minutes for a period of 30 minutes. The extent of anaesthesia by infiltration was measured quantitatively by determining the sum of the instances in which the animal remained immobile during the thirty minute period on 36 possible blinks.
Anaesthesia by conduction has been determined on frogs according to the method of E. Bulbring and I. Wajda (Journal Pharmacol. Exper. Ther., 85, 78, 1945). The compounds dissolved in physiological saline solution are introduced into the cavity obtained by a transversal incision in the abdomen and separating the viscera in order to expose the lumbar plexus. The period of time necessary to eliminate the reflux of contraction of the lower limbs stimulated by immersion of both posterior legs into hydrochloric acid of increasing concentration between 0.05-0.1-0.2 N for a period not in excess of ten seconds, at intervals of one minute is determined. The extent of anaesthesia of conduction has been determined by measuring the period of time required for each compound in three different concentrations, 0.2%-0.5%-1.0% in order to abolish the reflex of contraction with the concentration of hydrochloric acid indicated hereinabove.
For each compound according to the invention, comparison with lidocaine has been made, the comparison being calculated and expressed as CE50, which represents the concentration in percent which permits to achieve 50% of the total responses with respect to the total number of applied stimulating agents in the tests of surface anaesthesia and infiltration anaesthesia. By referring the values of CE50 to the values of DL50, one obtains a parameter which is analogous to the therapeutic index and which is capable of expressing the correlation between local anaesthetic activity and acute toxicity. This method of evaluation, however, cannot be applied in the case of conduction anaesthesia in frogs because the test does not give quantitative responses since the responses are of the type "everything or nothing." In this latter case, therefore, the parameter of efficacy of each compound is assumed to be the reciprocal of the maximum time at the concentration of 1%. The results are reported in Table II. On the basis of the comparison of the values, DL50 /CE50 (or DL50 /t), one notes the clear superiority of some of the compounds of formula I with respect to lidocaine. This superiority is even more clear from an examination of Table III in which the values of toxicity and activity of lidocaine arbitrarily have been made equal to one.

ANTI-ARRHYTHMIC ACTIVITY
This determination has been made in Wistar rats, anaesthetized with ethylurethane, (1 g/kg i.p.), according to the method of B. Vargaftig and J. L. Coigner (European Journal Pharmacology, 6, 49, 1969). The compounds dissolved in physiological saline solution, are injected intravenously three minutes prior to the infusion of aconitine, (10 mcg/kg/min.). The extent of anti-arrhythmic activity is determined quantitatively by determining the amount of aconitine necessary to induce ventricular arrhythmia. The data obtained are reported in Table IV. These data show that compounds 1, 13, and 14 are at least twenty times more active than lidocaine and at least ten times more active than quinidine.

The compounds of the present invention exhibit anti-arrhythmic properties and local anaesthestic properties with a mechanism of action similar to mexiletine and tocainide which reduce the number of channels for sodium because they particularly influence the rapid response and the slow sodium-dependent response, (O. Hauswirth and B. H. Singh: Pharmacology Review, 30, 5, 1978).
In clinical trial, preliminary tests have shown the superior anaesthestic activity and anti-arrhythmic activity with respect to lidocaine of the compounds according to the present invention which exhibit greater activity and which are more tolerated in the pharmacological tests reported hereinabove when the compounds are used in adequate formulations as indicated hereinbelow.
The following typical formulations are described hereinbelow for the purpose of illustrating the present invention.
